I should add that I augment my headphone audio experience by using the SubPac S2 setback tactile bass system in single-ended setups. Once I get the Cavalli Audio Carbon I can use it in balanced setups too. Please see Other Audio Equipment for more info.

Previous (Incomplete, headphones long since gone/broken/lost):
- Audeze EL8 closed back (with my former Double Helix Cables Molecule Elite with Audeze Zync connectors and 3.5 mm SE Eidolic termination. This has since been re-terminated into 2.5 mm TRRS balanced Eidolic by DHC and is use with my new EL8 Titanium headphones).
Headphones developed a fault in Jan 2016 and with the help of Audeze I got a new and updated pair of EL8 Ti instead ^^
- Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 Pro (Double Flanges/Foam eartips). Lost left ear monitor. :(
- Sony MDR-EX90SLB.
- Philips SHE8500 (I think...).
- x3 Sony MDR-EX71SLB. First one was an original Japanese import sold by a UK Sony Centre, but I abused it heavily. Second pair was an European mass produced version with inferior cable sheathing that cracked with sweat and skin oil. Third pair was a replacement for the second pair, but had same poor quality cable sheathing problems.

Current (Reverse chronological, unused):
- JDS Labs C5 Red Slate with custom anodised artwork and name on casework.
My backup amp,
- NuForce Icon Desktop Amplifier with DAC (not used) and headphone amplifier. Has original 23w PSU,
- JDS Labs c421 AD8620 original pre-production model, original gain settings and original casework. One of the jacks was broken, which over a year later was sent back to be fixed (but no parts to change the gain settings were available, so gain settings remained the same) and new casework.
- JDS Labs cMoy BB v2.02 custom amp with many modifications by John Seaber using superior parts. Has internal toggle switch.
- JDS Labs cMoy BB v2.01 with external toggle switch for boost.

- For Audeze EL-8 series (EL-8 Titanium):
DHC Molecule Elite Fusion OCC Copper + OCC Silver Litz (25AWG) 4-Wire cable with 3D printed steel helix Y-splitter, and Eidolic 2.5 mm balanced termination (silver but bigger than the compact Eidolic 2.5 mm jack).
This was my first EL-8 cable. It may be sold or traded-in but is currently under evaluation and for review purposes (comparing against the most recent cable above)

Audio Enhancements:
- SubPac S2 seatback tactile bass system.
This device allows one to physically feel bass and sub-bass frequencies by way of force-feedback using miniturised actuators. It is attached to the chair of the listener, and you put your back to it.
The control box itself has a bass intensity knob, is battery powered, and is Bluetooth cable!
Connect your amp to the control box line in, and headphones into the control box; the box just passes out the headphone feed unchanged.
However if you have an amp that can drive two or more headphone, then one can be used for headphones, and the other for the SubPac S2.

Japanese (Various, mainly soundtracks from Anime, and Japanese Drama):
Of worthy note is a band (listed in the Rock section) is 'The Pillows'. Very good music, if you want to try something different. Most J-Rock bands are terrible, but The Pillows are very original.
For weird, but very cool dance/driving music, try the Super Eurobeat soundtracks. Mainly from the Anime 'Initial D', these dance tunes are very fast, hard, and bassy, but still have loads of detail in the mid and high ranges.
